SEAL INSTALLATION - CYLINDER APPLICATION
• Clean the equipment thoroughly; remove sharp edges and burrs before installing sealing components
• Protective fixtures, materials or devices should be used whenever the seal has to pass over threads,
sharp edges, grooves or similar surface profiles
• Installation tools should be soft metal, wood or plastic also free of sharp edges.
The use of screwdrivers and other similar tools should be avoided
• Lubricants are acceptable and in most cases desirable to ease installation. The hydraulic
medium used in the system can often be used to lubricate the seal
